Clinicus Herodes trullam subduxerat aegro:
deprensus dixit “Stulte, quid ergo bibis?” Doctor Herodes had stolen a drinking-ladle from a sick patient. When detected he said: “You fool, why then do you drink?” Avea rubata una tazza il medico Erode a un malato. Sorpreso, disse: “Sciocco, volevi dunque bere?” |
